auto-import csv file every 10 minutes

i have changed the case..
itemId:product_code;Item:product_name;ItemWebDescription:product_description;StockActual:product_quantity;Price:price_value;CreateDateTime:product_created;

but it still gives the error

Hi,

These columns don't exist, you have to use the columns used by HikaShop else it won't work.
You can export your current products to a csv file to see how it's formatted, and see which columns are authorized.

Here is some documentation about csv import:
www.hikashop.com/fr/support/documentatio...shop-import.html#csv

So i have misunderstood the purpose of the field column names ?
I though it was some sort of translation line from one name to hikashop names for the columns

If that is not the purpose on the Hikashop Products Cron Update Plugin then what is its purpose ?

But that is properly not possible from the provider... i have to write a conversion part into the script then...

Xavier was talking about the import interface.

The cron plugin goal is indeed to update the products data with CSV automatically and the column names field allows you to associate the columns of the CSV with the columns in hikashop.

I checked the code and actually the column names field should only contain lower case names. Please put everything in lower case in there and that should be better.

ah thanx.. that was the problem...i though i should write them as in the file..

now it seems to work

it would be good if you could make this plugin be able to get wildcards as filenames like "uploadfolder/*.cvs" or just "uploadfolder/*" and it would parse all files in that folder mathing the wildcards defined.

but thats not needed right now for me

Hello Nikolas!
I m trying to do the same here but I m not sure if I understood well.
1. Using the Hikashop Products Cron Update Plugin, is all I need to do the job, or do I have to create a cron task in the configuration too?
I m asking because I saw the field frequency.

2. Is it ok to put my file on the public_html of my website with these info in my plugin?



3. when I have 10 in frequency it means 10sec. Am I right?

Ok.
I answered in all question by doing some more testing so

1. Using the Hikashop Products Cron Update Plugin, is all I need to do the job, or do I have to create a cron task in the configuration too?
Its no. I need to use the cron in the configuration too, to trigger the url. So why does the Frequency field is needed, since we use the cron task to do the job?

2. Is it ok to put my file on the public_html of my website with these info in my plugin?
Its yes

3. when I have 10 in frequency it means 10sec. Am I right?
I dont know since I use the cron to trigger the url.

Glad to see you solved this and thanks for sharing your answers!

Does the plugin used in this thread work with joomla 3.4.5 and Hikashop 2.6 ?

Hi,

Yes, the plugin is included in HikaShop 2.6 and works fine. You just have to configure your cron in the HikaShop configuration and then the HikaShop product update cron plugin via the Joomla plugins manager.
